GAS-RETORT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. I756,518, dated April 5, 1904.

Application filed August 5, 1903- Be it known that I, CLARENCE HORACE MoN'reouERIn Y AGRAMONTE, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Mexico, Republic of Mexico, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hydrocarbon-Burners, of which the following is a specication, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

This invention has relation to hydrocarbongas generators and burners; and it consists in the novel construction and arrangement of its parts, as hereinafter' shown and described.

The device is especially adapted to be used in connection with steam-boilers; and it consists of a vaporizer into which the hydrocarbon is introduced, said vaporizer being provided with a series of horizontally-arranged baffleplates and being surrounded by a gasifyingchamber which is provided with a series of vertically-arranged baille-plates, an opening leading from the vaporizer to the gasifyingchamber, and a gas-pipe leading from the gasifying-chamber and connecting with a burner located under the boiler and also Withaburner located under the vaporizer. The burner or burners located under the boiler have suitable air-feeds with dampers or other regulating devices located therein. The entire gas generating and consuming portions of the mechanism may be located in the lire-box of the furnace or the generating portion thereof may be located at any other suitable point, having the burners for heating the boiler located in the fire-box.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly in section, of the gasifying and burning apparatus. Eig. 2 is a front elevation of the apparatus as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a top plan View of the vaporizer and gas'ier with its top removed, and Fig. 4 is a transverse sectional view of the vaporizer and gasier.

rlhe apparatus consists of the vaporizer 1, mounted upon the upright standards 2 2, which rest at their lower ends upon the base 3. The burner-casing 1 is also located upon the said base 3 and is bolted to the lugs 5. The top of the vaporizer 1 is closed by the cover 6. The oil-supply pipe 7 passes vertically through Serial No. 168,298. (No model.)

the center of the top 6 and terminates in the bottom of the vaporizing-chamber 1. The said bottom of the said chamber 1 is concaved and is connected to the drip-outlet pipe 8. In the upper part of the gasifying-chamber 1 is arranged a series of horizontallydisposed baflie-plates 9 9, each said plate being provided with an opening 10, the said opening of one plate being diametrically opposite the next plate or plates. The gasifying-chamber 11 surrounds the vaporizer 1, said gasifyingchamber having located therein a series of vertically-arranged baffle-plates l2. rlhe opening 13, located in the upper part of the vaporizer 1, connects the interior of said vaporizer with the interior of the gasifying-chamber 11. The plates 12 are so arranged that the gas must enter one compartment between the plates over the top of one plate and leave it at the bottom of the next. This has a tendency to retard the flow of the gas and gives it plenty of time to become thoroughly heated before passing to the burner. The pipe 14 connects the gasifying-chamber 11 with the pipe l15. The pipe 16 connects the pipe 15 with the burner 17. The rear end of the burner 17 is provided with the air-ports 19. The pipe 15 also connects with the pipe 22, which is provided with a valve 23. The pipe 22 connects with the burner 24, which is located within the burner-casing 1.

ln the form of the invention as shown each burner 17 is provided with a drip-pipe 26. All of the drip-pipes above referred to are provided with suitable valves, as is also the oil-inlet pipe.

The device is operated as follows: The vaporizer 1 is heated by any suitable means, and the oil is then passed into the same through the pipe 7. The vapor rising from the said oil passes through the openings 10 of the balileplates 9 and through the opening 13 into the gasifying-chamber 11, where it passes over and under alternately the baffle-plates 12 and is gasiiied. After making a complete circuit of the gasifying-chamber 11 the gas passes through the pipe 15. Thence the major portion of it passes through the pipe 16 to the burner 17, where it is ignited and consumed. A portion of the gas passes from the pipe 15 past TOO the valve 23 into thev pipe Q2, thence to the burner 24:, Where it is ignited and consumed. The heat thus generated passes upagainst the bottom of the vaporizer l and its surrounding gasifying-chamber, and the processtof Vaporizing and gasifying above described is continued.

Having thus described my invention, what Ielaim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A vaporiZing-retort having horizontal baffle-plates located therein, an oil-supply pipe leading through the top of said retort and passing through said baffle-plates, a gasif yingchamber surrounding said retort, the Wall of said retort forming the inner Wall or' the gasifying-chamber, said gasifyingchamber having vertical baliie-plates located therein, said retort having an outlet located above the hori- Zontal baffle-plates and leading into said gasitying-chamber.

2. A vaporiZing-retort having'horizontal bande-plates located therein, said retort having' a concaved bottom, an oil-supply pipe leading through the top of said retort and passing through said baie plates and terminating above the center of the bottom of said retort, a gasifying-chamber surrounding said retort and being provided With suitable bathe-plates, said retort having an outlet located above said baffle-plates and leading into said gasifyingchamber.

3. A vaporiZing-retort having horizontal baHe-plates and a suitable oil-inlet, and an .outlet located above the bathe-plates, a gasifying-chamber surrounding said retort and having vertical baffle-plates, the Wall or' the retort forming the inner Wall of said chamber, said retort and said chamber being located upon a bottom common to both.
